Pros

My coworkers were great. We stuck together while trying to get out of the negative, toxic environment.

Cons

I have worked in a wide range of industries and organizations and this was by far my worst job experience. My manager was an extreme micromanager and actively tried to get me and some of my coworkers terminated. My workload was physically impossible to manage, to the point where I missed the last bus frequently because I has to work late. If I had to take a day off I was told I needed to have every email responded to and every project finished before I left or I would receive corrective action. The atmosphere was so negative and toxic that I suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. It can be tempting to work for a large, prominent employer, and it may look good on a resume, but don't work here.

Pros

Good benefits and generally good leadership

Cons

Typical large healthcare organization. Affordable care act ruined healthcare so its more about making money because it has become more of a business than care.

Pros

No pros. It was a horrible place to work

Cons

If you were night shift, you had to work every holiday. The nurses were so lazy and never helped us. We ran around taking care of patients with no help. Changing them, cleaning up horrible messes, taking them to the bathroom and doing vitals with no help. Nurses would sit there eating while on Facebook, while we did all the work. Some would even be sleeping!
